Oh shut the fuck up. You say things offensive on the reg on this very website. Tell me when you donate $100,000.

GILBERT BLYTHE from Anne of Green Gables. WE WILL BE TOGETHER FOREVER.

Exactly. And, at its most sinister, implies in a roundabout way that the hurt feelings of thin bodies are more important than the hurt feelings of heavy bodies, because it hijacks the discussion away.

I think for the vast majority of heavy women, myself included, that kind of thinking is a first step. Most, but not all, push passed it rather quickly, some get stuck on it, and the truly enlightened somehow manage to bypass it entirely. I understand how hard it might be to hear as a thin woman who has never judged…

Yep, just went and watched it. She's got an okay voice with minimal breath control. I mean, she's sucking in breath every few words like she's an asthmatic. And I'm saying this as somebody who actually likes what music of hers I've heard.

This comment is perfect. I find it shocking how many thin women go out of their way to make this issue all about them.

I wasn't referring to attacking individuals so much as the "real women have curves" mentality. Women who assert that are generally not TRYING to attack skinny women directly so much as embracing a notion that, albeit problematic, restores a sense of humanity to their feelings about their own bodies. And at no point…

All I'm saying is please acknowledge that while ALL body shaming is bad, the brand of body shaming fat people are subject to often opens them up to physical and verbal violence, social rejection, lack of career opportunities and total exclusion from entire sectors of society. Especially for large women.

The best thing about Aaliyah was Timbaland.

The difference is, when fat women have strangers make comments about us, we don't get to turn around and see ourselves portrayed positively EVERYWHERE to take the sting out of it.

I agree with you on all accounts as far as bodyshaming, but I thnk its also important to remember that while it may hurt thin women to be told these things and they in no way deserve it and we need to work to eradicate this behavior, when it comes from heavy women it is usually coming from a place of reaction and…

As said, I agree body shaming/rude comments in any regard is an issue.

Studies show that "skinny" women will outearn their "normal" and "obese" counterparts by tens of thousands of dollars.

I wouldn't say it's just as bad, as a thin woman, but I'd just say it's bad. To say it's just as bad would be to discount how many times I've heard or seen my best friend cry over thinking she's not good enough because some asshole made fun of her. She called me after some dude at a bar negged her to try and get her…

"But as someone who is naturally very thin (with very visible ribs and spine), being told you are "too thin" is just as bad as being told you are "too fat". "

The fact that strangers make denigrating comments about our size is as unacceptable as a stranger's unsolicited comments on bodies of any other size.

I don't even like a title: petite, short, high fashion, runway. It should all just be in one genre, it's just a model,

Am I the only one who seriously does not see the hype in Aaliyah? She wasn't that revolutionary (in my opinion). I don't even see her as a huge 90's/early 2000's icon. Seriously the movie is not that big of a deal. It's just Lifetime.

#3 is pretty much the only ACCEPTABLE item on this list.

ASOS Curve is such a disappointment to me. Women rave about them, but I've returned everything I've ever tried to buy from them. The sizing is impossible for me to figure out- everything is way bigger than I anticipate, based on their size chart. The quality of the clothes is just terrible. Recently, I tried ordering…
